How can I stop biting my nails?

Answer:
It's a habit..you are the only one who can break this habit. Every time you bite them, think of how "nasty" under your nails are and you are putting that in your mouth. Things such as that may make you "think" when you do it at least. This is just one of those things that you will have to want to do and force your self not to do. Sorry, I know it's hard, I used to do it to and so did my children until they were teenagers and stopped. Concentrate on it, think of how good your nails will look when they grow out. You will eventually stop if you keep trying! Good luck!Additional information: Maybe if you think of what fingernails really are it will help you stop; keratinized dead skin cells.

Put oven mitts on your hands and duct tape them around the wrist, that should be embarrassing enough to make you mentally not want to bite them. Try getting manicures often to help you stop, if you have to spend the money to make them look nice you may not want to ruin them by biting them. Plus it keeps them short and clean so there isn't anything to bite on. Good luck!

At your local drugstore you might be able to find a special nailpolish that you can put on them. Every time you try to bite them, you'll then have a nasty taste in your mouth that will make you stop.
But, I can't remember the name of the brand.

Get a microscope and make a slide of the stuff you scrape out from under the nail. Watch how many bacteria show up on the slide. You will see them wiggling and moving around. Thats what you put into your body! Yuk. Plain and simply scare yourself to death and gross yourself out at the same time. That should do it.

Clip your nails until the point where you can't bite them anymore.
